SURVEILLANCE VIDEO PROPERLY EXCLUDED, IT WAS NOT AUTHENTICATED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined Supreme Court properly refuse to admit a surveillance video because it was not properly authenticated:

“Testimony from [a] videographer that he [or she] took the video, that it correctly reflects what he [or she] saw, and that it has not been altered or edited is normally sufficient to authenticate a videotape” … . Where the videographer is not called as a witness, the video can still be authenticated with testimony that the video “truly and accurately represents what was before the camera”… . Furthermore, “[e]vidence establishing the chain of custody of the videotape may additionally buttress its authenticity and integrity, and even allow for acceptable inferences of reasonable accuracy and freedom from tampering” … . Here, given the inability of the witness to testify regarding the editing of the master recording and the accuracy of the video excerpt, and his lack of personal knowledge as to the creation of the proffered disc and how it came into the possession of the plaintiff’s attorneys, we agree with the court’s determination that the plaintiff failed to properly authenticate the video excerpt … . Torres v Hickman, 2018 NY Slip Op 04372, Second Dept 6-13-18
